It. was made Tuesday with a great blare of trumpets by the Government Urgan. The Globe says, “Some old faces will not be ‘ seen. in the New House.” It may readily be believed that the Globe is right in this predic- tion, but the blatant hypocrisy» of the leading editorial is a gmss insult to the majority of the electors in this Province. The saintly Organ belittles Mr. Whitney and upholds the immac- ulate George W. Ross who thought at one time that Whitney was quite good enough tojoin forces with him in a coalition Government. Mr. Whitney must have some little ability in the opinion of Mr. Ross, and, backed as he is by several thousand of a popula ma- jority and even a majority in the Leg. islature when tile House was dissolved the Globe’s insults against him are ago, and the 25th of January will see his fln‘ish unless, some more marvel- lous machine work is brought into re- quisition. SOME people have great ideas. We recently billed a subscriber who was four years behind. In remitting he sent us two dollars, and wondered why we should have charged hitgls for 1903 and 1904 as he left the place the paper was going to two years ago. Another was three years behind and he object- ed to pay anything because 'he left at that time. How in the name of com- mon sense are we to keep track of such characters. The amounts due still stand on our books, and we hope the consciences of such men will prompt I them to whack up. The post masters we admit are partly to blame for not giving notice of the changes of address, when the subscribers themselves failed to do so. The last election was held in 1902, and though Ross nominally held pow- er. he. never during the whole period had an unquestioned nmjority in the house. and the total vote, throughout the Dominion isestinmted at from four to seven th(_ms.~l.nd against him. The government has been under a cloud all the time. protests were. pending and the government dared not to let the trials go on. North Renfrew was dis- franchised for nineteen months, and the candidates of the conventions were for the equal period .canv:-tssing tho- electorate, and no doubt committo ing Wrong on both SldeS. The chances for Premier Ross to-day seems less favorable than they were two years The Local Legislature is dissolved and a new election is fixed for the 25th of January, The Nomination will take place on the 18th.

Marie, is in town now visiting the acquaintances of her girlhood days. My, but she has grown! She might easily pass for 20 though more than three years from being out of her teens. We were pleased to meet her and to learn that the family is well. Mrs. Christopoer Williams invited her neighbors last week to a wood-bee and seventeen of them turned out in response to the call. That night she had twenty cords of wood cut. and part of it was piled up snugly in the yard for use. The old lady is highly gratified at the kindness of her good friends.

Mr. John Aldred returned last week from a three months’ sojourn in the Great N orth-west. Though he likes the country well he doesn’t think of pulling up stakes and going there. Mr. J. H. Smith, B.

The name of Ha ,' ld Jarvis should draw a full house from his well-deserved world wide fame, as one of the best, if not the very best singer on the American con- tinent. It was his first appearance in Durham, and all who heard him were delighted, beyond the power of pen to ‘3 describe, with the excellent rendering of every number. So well did be please the audience that he was forced - to respond every time to an encore l and sometimes twice. Mr. Jarvis has a good gentlemanly stage appearance 9 and the newspapers have not over- . drawn the picture in describing his ability as a vocalist. See Peel’s black and tan hockey shoes, they fire the proper thing for skating. We are sole agents for Stewart‘s cele- brated confectionery at Darling’s. The meeting closed with the National Anthem. and those who were present went home delighted with the whole proceeding. Dr. Hutton was chairman, but the audience was so well-behaved that there wasn’t much need of anyone to fill the position. This is no reflection however, on the Doctor’s ability, but simply a word of praise to the audi- ence for their excellent behaviour. ! Mr. John ROSS, of Acton, was the piper of the evening, but there was evidently something wrong with the blame thing, and even the Scotch- xnen didn’t seem to enjoy it as they uEually do. Mr. Ross, we have no doubt, isagood man with the pipes, having taken the first prize at the Caledonian Games held here on Domin- ion Dsy. Willie Ross, his little son, gave some good exhibitions of Scotch dancing, which were highly prized by all present. 3 gm” ”Mrs. Newton is one of ourselves, but when it comes to handling the piano she can take her place with the best of them and is always appreciated by 8.
